PRINTERS GALLEY.

SPECII'ICATION'forming part of Letters Patent. N 0. 346,809, datedAugust 3, 1886.

Application filed March 18, 1886.

.To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. H. DOTY,

a citizen of the United States,residing at Oakland, in the county ofBergen and State of New 5 Jersey, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Printers Galleys, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention consists in an improvement in printers galleys, which isfully set out and described in the following specification, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is aperspective view of the improved galley. Fig. 2 is a cross-section onthe line w of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 2 z of Fig. 1,showing a modification. Fig. at is a cross-section on the line yy ofFig. 1. Fig. 5 is a sectional view of theinvention, the line of sectionbeing the same as in Fig.3. Fig. 6 representsthe metallic plate fromwhich the trough is formed.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In constructing a printers galley according to this invention a bottomplate, A, of zinc or other suitable metal, is provided, which extendsunder the side rails, B B, and the end rail or head, 0, and is securedto them by means of screws D, which extend through the bottom plate upinto the rails, as illustrated in the section, Fig. 2. The side railsand the end rails here shown are made of wood. The side rails, B, extendthe whole length of the galley, the end rail or head, 0, extendingacross the galley at one end between the side rails. The ralls B B O andthe bot tom plate, A, constitute a frame, upon which is mounted ametallic trough, E, which 'is placed upon the bottom plate and betweenthe rails, its sides being bent up vertically, as at F, (see Figs. 1, 2,and 3,) to cover the inner surfaces of the rails, the outer edges of itsbent sides being bent horizontally, so as to form 4 flanges G G, whichoverlap the inner corners of the side rails, being fitted into rabbetsformed on the side rails, so that said flanges will fit snugly to therails and be flush with their upper surfaces. The flanges G terminate atthe lines H. l

The trough E is struck or bent up from a sheetof metal cut at itsright-hand end, as shown 'in Fig. 6, where the letter H indicates theends of the parts that form the flanges G G of the trough, the part ofthe blank that extends beyond the parts H H 55 forming three parts, 1 23, of which the parts Serial No. 195,707. No model.)

1 and 3 are bent 11p ataright angle along with the parts F F of thetrough, forminga continuation of the parts F, and project between theside rails, B B, and theend rail or head, 0, as shown in Fig. 4, whilethe central part, 2, extends under the end rail or head, 0, as shown inFig. .5, to which it is properly secured by the screws that secure thebottom plate thereto.

Fig. 5 shows the end rail or head, 0, covered on its inner face and topby a separate piece of metal, K, which extends at J J beyond the ends ofthe head, so as to come upon the side rails, B B, to which they aresecured by screws 5 5.

In the modification shown in Fig. 3'the head 0 is lined and covered bythe end 2 of I the trough, which is bent up over the head, as shown inFig. 3. In that case the edges of the part 2 are divided from the parts1 and 3 by cutting the blank accordingly.

In order to prevent water or moisture from entering between the trough Eand bottom plate, A, at the outer end of the galley, I close the jointL, where they both terminate, with soft solder, and thereby unite themtogether along that line, so as that they will not be like- 1y toseparate or spring apart when subjected to blows or hard-usage.

The flangesG G are secured to the side rails at the open end of thegalley by brads or small nails, as shown.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a printers galley, the combination of the bottom plate, A, theside rails, BB, head 0, and its lining K, and the metallic trough E,provided with the vertical sides F, flanges G, and parts marked 1 2 3,all formed from onepiece with the trough, the parts 1 and 3 beingarranged between the side rails and head, and the part 2 being extendedunder the head, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination, with the bottom plate, A, side rails, B, and head 0of a printers galley, of the metallic trough E, extending over thebottom plate and vertically along the inner surface of the side rails,substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and sealin the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
